Building a Boot CD that installs any program.

[TheMarine]

I have made a w2k boot cd and a multi os boot cd, but want I am trying to make is a cd that will load W2k and then some Intrusion Dections software but has to load it in a certain order.  Can this be done with unattended install and where do you find the info on this?

Thanks

I just updated my site.  It has more info on the unattend and oem.  You can install in any order in the GUIRunonce (sp?) section of the unattend.  Use the oem folder to copy the installers to the harddrive.

Second option, use sysdiff.  Take a snapshot of all programs in order and then apply the inf file at the end.

I will be posting more info my site in the next week.  I will try to focus on this information first. http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

You can also search www.ntfaq.com for installation order.  I seem to remember the same information showing up there.
Thanks,

Dear Twinkie :

Had you found any problems when you make Win XP mulitboot CD ?
I had tried to make this CD but always fail. I use new version (Ver. 2.46) of CDimage to create ISO file.and then use Nero Burning Rom 5.5.6.4 to burn CD.
Of course, I checked each step exactly.
This CD can boot but show error messages when installation as below :

Eror
Installation Failed: %CDROM%ENGLISHWINXPHOMEI386asms. Error Messages: Data
error.(cyclic redundance check).

Do you have any idea about this problem ?

Not that error exactly.  Same situation with someone else though.  They had two path errors when changing the folder locations though.  I don\'t know how close you followed the manual but you posted \'ENGLISH\' where the files I edited and posted are using UENGLISH.  Easy enough to change.  If you edited the files on your own and pointed to the folder you used do a search of the files for UENGLISH.  There may be one pointer you accidently pointed to with my manual.  Happens a lot after spending a few hours working on this.  All the code starts to look the same. http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

First, thanks a lot for your help.
I found your web site after I have made the CD ( failed ), so all the pointer in my CD are not the same as yours.
I have tried to extract the structural from Windows XP HOME/PRO 2 in 1 CD (MSDN) and builded again. the same problem appeared again.
